The LUBRINCO Group provides senior executives with specialized
domestic and international risk management assistance in areas that affect domestic and international
bottom lines by helping identify vulnerabilities, and managing, transferring, or living with their
associated risks.
We provide services in three areas of high risk typically outside the expertise available in-house:
Identification and protection of critical information (OPSEC).
International financial investigations and due diligence consulting for:
anti-money laundering and financial fraud issues, establishment of business relationships /
strategic partnerships in Central and Eastern Europe, Japan, the offshore financial centers,
Latin America, and China, and location and recovery of assets.
Protection of management, staff, and families in the high-risk environments of Africa, Latin America,
Southeast Asia, and the Mid-East, or when transporting high-value (greater than fifty million dollars) items.
LUBRINCO has successfully met these challenges in the past, will understand your unique problems,
and can prevent disastrous financial loss to your company, and physical harm to your executives, their
families, and their staff.
PROTECTION OF MANAGEMENT, STAFF, AND FAMILIES
IN HIGH- RISK ENVIRONMENTS AND OVERSEAS TRAVEL / LIVING
LUBRINCO helps make clients more productive and profitable by facilitating their daily life,
and by managing the high-risk environments of Latin America, Africa, the Mid-East, and Southeast Asia.
Risk ranges from wasted time caused by unfamiliarity with a foreign culture, to embarrassing situations
that could produce bad publicity, through accidents and medical emergencies, as well as physical danger.
If you travel or work in an executive capacity outside of the U. S., Canada, or
Western Europe, you – and members of your family and staff – are targets by terrorists for
political reasons, and by criminals for profit. You will also face stress from the unfamiliar
culture. LUBRINCO professionals come from government and private protective
backgrounds, and can deal with these issues.
LUBRINCO’s job is to determine the actual level and nature of risk then move clients
from the attractive potential target category into the unattractive potential risk category.
Supplementary services include:
Physical security and TSCM consulting;
Cultural and security awareness training for staff and family members;
The safe transport of principals carrying valuable (in the fifty million dollar and
higher range) goods and commodities.
FINANCIAL DUE DILIGENCE, ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND
ANTI-FINANCIAL FRAUD, FINANCIAL INVESTIGATION
Exercise of financial due diligence helps reduce loss and liability in business
relationships and strategic partnerships. Financial due diligence calls for the experience
and judgment to know when, where, and how to uncover what hasn’t been disclosed.
LUBRINCO’s staff is knowledgeable about Western business needs, as well as the business
practices, legal procedures, infrastructures, and pitfalls and problems of Central and Eastern
Europe, China, Japan, the offshore financial centers, and Latin America. This is particularly
critical in these markets, where there is higher risk of fraud, corruption, and criminal activity.
While many of our clients have tens of millions of dollars at risk, financial due diligence is
appropriate in any endeavor where substantial loss of funds would stress your organization.
LUBRINCO also helps reduce loss and liability from anti- money laundering and financial
fraud issues (USA Patriot Act and EU Revised Money Laundering Directive of 2001). We
work with financial gatekeepers in establishing protocols and in the exercise of due diligence,
and with financial institutions as part of the enhanced due diligence (EDD) team.
LUBRINCO’s forensic skills in financial investigation help you reveal, quantify, and
recover from wrongdoing. Assets may be hidden for many reasons, from financial fraud
and theft to divorce, but the techniques for finding them are the same. We assist in the
identification and recovery of missing assets averaging $600,000,000 per year.
OPSEC: THE IDENTIFICATION AND PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFORMATION
The LUBRINCO Group helps companies deal with competitive intelligence (the
legitimate gathering of publicly available information) and economic espionage (the
illegal acquisition of trade secrets) that allows competitors to know your plans, and
beat you on bids or on getting products to market before you, and with adversaries who
might do you harm for other, non- business related, reasons.
LUBRINCO does this using OPSEC, a set of tools and techniques developed by the U. S.
government to protect critical but unclassified information. OPSEC is used in
the private sector to identify and protect information, trade secret or not, that gives
adversaries an advantage when known. The OPSEC process allows us to help you:
Identify specific adversaries;
Identify the information these adversaries wish to acquire from you;
Analyze the vulnerability of your projects’ information, either directly or through
clues of its existence;
Keep this information, and hints of its existence, from the public domain.
Economic espionage and competitive intelligence costs American companies over
$300 billion each year! Crazies and ideological opponents can cause you economic
and physical harm. If you are economically viable you are a target. If you are a target,
you are in all probability already a victim.
